== Removing an extension ==
It looks like to To remove an extension it is enough to remove that extension's files - in the above case, just remove the whole <code>%PROGRAMFILES%\Mozilla Thunderbird\extensions\{e2fda1a4-762b-4020-b5ad-a41df1933103}</code> directory. == Installing since Firefox 2.0.0.7 == The xpi file must reside on a local disk or on a network share (drive letter).

== Installing X.509 certificates ==
With Mozilla's Network Security Services (NSS) it is also possible to install certificates from the command line.
